The Right Sized Packaging


Selecting the right sized packaging for your business is vital. For many businesses, packaging is a huge factor which needs to be given careful consideration.  Every business has differing packaging needs, with varying product ranges in size and weight. It’s important to get your packaging right for your products to ensure your products are protected in transit and your packaging is as cost-effective and as eco-friendly as possible.

What does ‘right sized packaging’ mean?  Right sized packaging is designed to fit the shape of your product to protect it in transit and reduce the amount of void fill needed. Right sized packaging can be approached in a number of ways; the first is with custom sized packaging, this is ideal for business with a few core product lines that ship via LTL freight or their own truck.

Making small changes to adapt your packaging design to increase your profit, promote sustainable practices, and boost your productivity.

Why right size packaging?  Right sized packaging offers benefits for both you, and your customer.  As a business, right sized packaging means reducing the size of your packaging to fit your products. This means that there is less movement in transit and no need for excessive void fill. This simple adjustment can help lower shipping and packaging costs as well as having a positive impact on your company's carbon footprint. By having the correct size boxes and less void fill the packaging process is improved making warehouses more efficient.

From a customer's perspective the right sized packaging means it's easier to unpack and recycle, reuse, or dispose of. With the right sized packaging the customer is getting less waste to deal with.  More importantly, any goods are less likely to be damaged in transit if your product fits the box, which means fewer customers will have issues when they receive your products.

If you are focusing on the environmental impact of your business, selecting the right sized packaging is the perfect way to reduce what ends up in landfill.
